A man has been hospitalized after an accidental shooting.

On Tuesday at 2:01 p.m., two individuals were hunting in the Robertsdale area in Huntingdon County. Police have said these two individuals are related, but have not released their names.

As they were leaving the woods, one individual was trying to clear his rifle, when it discharged, striking the victim in the right calf area. The victim was taken to Broad Top Medical Center and later to UPMC Altoona for further treatment.

The investigation is pending.
